Little Mac (SSBU)

Line 307:

During the early metagame, players had high hopes for Little Mac due to improvements to his notoriously awful recovery and ability to cancel grounded moves. However, Little Mac's changes and the game’s mechanics proved to be detrimental to some of his best tools, especially his ground game, while his weak aerial game, notoriously the worst in ''Smash 4'', was made even worse. Because of this, opinions on Little Mac dropped significantly, with the consensus believing that he is not only a bottom tier, but possibly the worst character in the game.

Throughout the game's lifespan, even in spite of useful buffs and representation from top Little Mac mains such as {{Sm|Kwaz}}, {{Sm|Peanut}}, and {{Sm|Tarakotori}}, his cons have largely prevented him from achieving consistent success in top-level play. Even in the online metagame, Peanut’s strong presence in weekly tournaments has failed to offset his lack of aerial utility and vulnerability to edgeguards, represented by Little Mac proceeding to see low representation in both national level tournaments and Wi-Fi Warrior Ranked tournaments. As of current competitive play, Little Mac has started to gain a slightly better ~~perception~~ with more representation and ~~more~~ Little Mac players adapting to the recent meta. While still considered one of the worst characters in the game, some players have started to skeptically see him as a low tier rather than bottom tier. Overall, professional players still see him in the competitive setting as an unviable character, due to the amount of work necessary to perform as him at the highest level of play.
